I really wanted to like this wine, but it was just so-so overall. It did have a nice chestnut color. But... the nose soon changed from inviting to simple and, the flavors, which included some nice fruit, morphed to something stunted and sour. Not flawed just tired. Better several years ago.

Past its peak, but it still tasted very good, just missing some fruit and intensity. My previous bottle had seemed slightly sour, but this one was nice and mellow with a nice flavor, so maybe it has reached a good plateau that will last a couple more years.

This was not as good as I remembered it from the wine tasting. Wine had gone about halfway through the cork, and there was almost a little bit of a sour aftertaste to it, so maybe the bottle was on its way to being corked. It was still good, but I need to try another bottle before making a final judgment.

Fine color. Great cola nose. Excellent sweet fruit on the palate. No real sign of decline or even age. This is fine. 4-12-17-8: 91/100.
